IT. the House to-day the special order was
the bill to appropriate $1,000 to the State
University.
Mr.. Rawls, of Effingham, said that if he
believed the University needed the money
and could e" it by no other means than
by going into the State Treasury he would
favor the bill, Blu he was convinced that
the University owned lands and town lots
from the sale of which the money needed
could be raised and that they could well
be spared by the university He said that
all over the State there were schools and
colleges in successful operation without aid
from the State, and he thought the univer-
sity could get along without this extra APP
preparation He preferred to vote a liberal
amount for common school education.
Mr.. Harrison, of Quitman, said the bill
did not touch the question of education in
Georgia. 1t simply provided for the preser
walton of the property of the State Uni
versity. He favored the bill.

of the Middle Georgia College, at Milledge-
vile, were in as bad condition as those of

amendment including the college at Cuth-
bert
Mr.. McCord thought the Dahlonega bill
had been offered i'll good faith. but he said
that neither the college at Hamilton nor
that at Cuthbert was a branch of the State
University They had OF their own accord

buildings at Milledgeville would cost over
$4,000. and an appropriation of 5000 was
asked for. He asked Mr.. McLendon how
much was needed for Townsville, and Mr.
McLendon thought IS 900 was needed He
said that in view of these needs he would
vote for the appropriations as he would vote
for appropriations for the preservation OF
any other property of the State He would
never consent that Georgia should have 70
send her sons to other States for an educa
ton.

could afford, and should make, all the ap
preparations asked for We should do equal
justice to all. He insisted that the college
at Hamilton had complied with all the re
quirements and conditions of the act for is
establishment, ard was as much entitled e
State aid as the others He did not know
that the State had any title TO property al
